These are so happy and fun. Does Tivoli happen to have anything in common with Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen? Who are the folk that run this? Are they Roma or is this some locaL company?

Thank you Asher! We use the word Tivoli for a travelling fair in our language. The Finnish language most likely took the word from the world famous Tivoli of Copenhagen (who named their amusement park after an Italian town). Suomen Tivoli is the oldest travelling fair in this country, run and owned by a Finnish family. I remember going to the fair with my mother and now I love to go there with my own kids.

Do I detect traces of fairy floss on the child's face? If not, why not?

Yes it is Tom. And she hadn't even eaten any when I shot the picture
